  • Writing Fiction and The Grammars

    I suppose I ought to point out that I treat fiction as one of the “Grammars” in P, and I include the “archetypes, plots, and sentences” (the grammar(logic) of fiction) in the book. It might be helpful or disheartening to see all the forms of human communication reduced to algorithmic format, tied back to geometry, but it provides extraordinary clarity just like all the sciences help provide extraordinary clarity across phenomenon that otherwise appear incomprehensibly different.

    WHY THE SWAN LOGO? FALSIFICATIONISM.

    —“Why do you use a black swan as your symbol?”—Spooky Question @QuestionMThings —“P is a completion of scientific method which works by falsification. No matter how many white swans you see, it doesn’t justify a claim that black swans don’t exist (Hume).”—Martin ล tฤ›pรกn

    That is, of course, the correct answer. ๐Ÿ˜‰ And …. Via Taleb, Counter-intuitive, radical, unpredictable events are more influential than the foreseeable. What you don’t know and don’t predict is what will harm you. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Seek Stresses for fitness (survival). Note that we are distancing ourselves from Taleb now that he’s gone over the edge. And … it’s Elegant, Rare, and Beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‰ And … it’s a peaceful normie-friendly icon.

  • It Matters: Disambiguation, Serialization, Operationalization

    IT MATTERS: DISAMBIGUATION, SERIALIZATION, OPERATIONALIZATION (and competition) —“Good format”— @AHayhes (In response to serialization of properties of religion) P-method of “Disambiguation, Serialization, Operationalization”. Popper didn’t quite get there. Programming and databases (relational calculus) got me there. Some of us are better at it (pattern recognition, systematizing) and others need hand holding (narrative). Both are required.
